Hi guys, firstly thank you for taking time out of your day to write those helpful replies, you’ve got me thinking.
Todd: the controller vs cdj debate could go on forever and the outcome is that as I understand, controllers offer alot more for your money and are more feature rich. I have looked into the controller vs cdj argument for the past 2 weeks now, and the reason I was wanting cdjs was so that I had the option to play cds (I have a bundle of cds that were left to me and that I have burned myself which I would like to play out. P.s. I know the many disadvantages to using cds). Also I want to use the gear for my own parties etc and a controller and laptop combo I feel ‘wouldnt fit’ the vibe of what I’m after (I know the crowd wouldn’t care, but it would bug me endlessly). Thanks for the reply todd and I’m keen to keep discussing this as you’ve got me thinking 🙂
Vintage: hi vintage, thanks for the reply, what you’re saying using the car analogy totally makes sense, and helps alot. I will indeed checkout other options and look at the Denon gear 🙂
Also just to say that I will not be dropping 7000 on the setup haha. I’ve saved up about 2500 and I want that to get me my setup plus some new monitors. I think if I Got some cdjs and a mixer plus the monitors all on the second hand market for under this price (which I’m confident I can do) then it would be worth it?
